    I don’t think it’s a bad take, it’s not a complete one. What’s his full plan? He’s not in a position to have one.

    I’m a realist not an idealist. We will all sit here doing nothing if we still to our ideals. I acknowledge that difficult decisions need to be made. The metaphor of politics being a game of chess is great. If you play the game ideally, trying to never lose a piece, you will lose the game.

    Given what I’ve seen for far, Israel is going too far. But given what I’ve seen from Hamas, I’m not sure where the line is. It’s a similar problem to the war on terror where the enemy isn’t a nation state and has to be identified mixed into civilians. Add on top that no one knows what a solution is. You could argue never invading Iraq was the correct move for the US, but keeping the situation between Israel and Gaza sure as hell isn’t imo.
